Topic: Index.php Only Message

I want to show a message on the front of the forums (index.php) only and not anywhere else on the forum. How can I do this?

Re: Index.php Only Message

Whereabouts on the index.php would you like it to appear?

Create a file, pun_include it in main.tpl in the proper position. In the file, you'll have something like

if (basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == 'index.php')
{
// stuff
}

Re: Index.php Only Message

I've changed the announcement to only appear on index.php before.

In header.php, find:

// START SUBST - <pun_announcement>
if ($pun_config['o_announcement'] == '1')

Replace with:

// START SUBST - <pun_announcement>
if ($pun_config['o_announcement'] == '1' && (strpos($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], '/index.php') != false)) // mod: front page only

(Not sure if that's the best conditional statement to use, but it worked for me at the time.)

The issue with that is that you then lose the use of the announcement wink
